The pint-sized pooch was reunited with its owners Thursday at Contra Costa Animal Services in Martinez. Two girls and their dad picked up the pup, who turns out to be named Charm. She had been given the temporary name Freeway for obvious reasons.

The dog had escaped from the family’s backyard and somehow survived crossing the nearby highway.

Two CHP motorcycle officers — no, they weren’t named Ponch and John — spotted the terrified pooch while on patrol. One officer lured the frightened dog using a piece of a protein bar. The other officer snapped a photo that soon began to tug at heartstrings across the Internet.
